    QF1 cancelled because A380 carried coronavirus passenger in F

    If this is the precedent they are going to set there's a lot of pain ahead. I may or may not be bitter having been booked on QF2 ex SIN on Friday night, which this aircraft would have operated....

    How to guarantee that you get scanned and swabbed at the airport.

    What you actually said was that any of us who claimed they were doing group swabbing (despite having experienced it regularly) should be wearing tin foil hats, inferring we were paranoid and quite likely delusion to boot :rolleyes: in which case I am not sure what we would be agreeing about...

    How to guarantee that you get scanned and swabbed at the airport.

    Ah - no, as a few others have said. Last time I copped a multi pax swabbing there was 4 of us. Never seen it done anywhere else in the world. The issue is that if the first person has trace which is picked up, that potentially gets transferred to the other people who have the same swab rubbed...

    Moving to UK - best way to get there?

    Speaking as someone who is living overseas... Take your wallet, passport, and your music collection. Sell the rest or give it away, but whatever you do don't put it in storage (unless you have relatives living on acreage where you can leave a container for free). I left for a 2 year contract 20...

    The totally off-topic thread

    36 to 57 are the poverty pack bus gates - you take a left opposite gate 35 to reach them.

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Must have been green in the ways of Asia by the sound of that. A brief discussion in the duty officers room and a lazy 50 would have solved the problem on the spot :cool:

    A sad goodbye to M*****0 (passport expiry)

    Err.. Yes, that's what I said. He will need a new ESTA. I've always filled passports before they got anywhere near within 2 years of expiring however I am not surprised they terminate the ESTA on the expiry date if there is less than 2 years validity left. My comment was more directed to the...

    A sad goodbye to M*****0 (passport expiry)

    No. New passport means you have to apply for a new ESTA. They are only valid for 2 years anyway.

    Jakarta airport transfer suggestions to city hotel

    There is also a silver bird rank outside. Turn left instead of right depending on which exit you come from and they are pretty obvious. I never use the inside desk.

    Dubai, another warning

    Pretty much sums it up. My only comment would be that I expect there is more to the story than referenced in the media. The pregnancy in itself, at that stage would not usually trigger anything like what has happened.

    General driving discussion

    This. Where I am currently (Middle East), only drivers from countries with stringent licensing procedures, where you can't buy a license, are able to change over without a test. All others get one chance at a road test and if they fail that, have to start from zero.

    Best Y seats to Europe

    Check if QR is going to be 10 across in Y - best avoided. SQ would be my preference, followed by QF/LH

    Scams like these

    Almost all Indians can understand Hindi reasonably well, so you can rest assured they will understand exactly what you mean. As there are so many regional languages in India, Hindi basically serves as the common language that everyone learns to communicate with, in addition to their local language.

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options In the box on the QR website where it asks for Promo Code you need to type VISA Good for 15% off although the offer is about to expire I think.

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options @defurax : I'm looking at a similar routing (CMB-SIN-SYD) but can't seem to get it onto a QF flight number. Only offering UL flight numbers - how did you get it to book onto a QF flight number?

    Abu Dhabi/ Dubai Transfer Service

    Unless you can take advantage of an Uber offer like @mmchow a taxi is your best option. Limousine will be 30-40% higher cost and not much better.

    CX Lounge entry denied (SFO)

    Re: No access to Cathay lounge in SF From my (admittedly limited) sample, the same can be said for every US lounge, i.e. small and underwhelming. I assume there must be a few exceptions?

    A bit of humour

    A little boy walked into a brothel with a $100 bill and a dead cat in a box. He goes to the madam and asks for the prostitute with the most venereal diseases. The madam is surprised but is not prepared to turn down a $100 dollars, so gives the boy her most diseased girl. After the boy has...
